Freak Accident: Shame It Wasn't A Live Round

Saw "105mm" & figured it was a recoilless rifle, whether or not the young & ignernt reporter said "howitzer." Checking on effective ranges indicates it probably was one of these:
Where the magic happened.(Maybe some of these loons can resist at least the National Guard for a while. Explosive 105mm rounds could be a problem though. Expensive even if they were readily available.)

It would be nice if that video actually played.
I want to see who they almost killed.

Well, here's the non-moving version of the story.

Interestingly, the 106mm M40 Recoiless Rifle actually was chambered for a 105 round, but was designated 106 to avoid confusion. See, you don't want to try to load an artillery round in a rifle you're holding on your shoulder.

Just saying...

W.D. (I can hardly type that without including "40"), the video played for me.

I don't think these pissants will ever do anything more than beat up their wives and terrify their kids.

Plays, but it wouldn't embed for shit: Won't center or change size enough. Those embedding services must be real cheap to the stations, & then sell their own ads. Same clowns behind autoplay. Here's the page.

Read that about the "106" when I was checking how far they all shot. Square peg, round hole.

And kill cars. Don't forget the cars.

FAKE! Those cars were rigged to blow up when sneezed at. Cars don't blow up like that when hit by a .50 caliber machine gun shell.

The howitzer shell, on the other hand...

Explosive(s) Editor:
They admit on their cheesy web site that the cars are more than ready to go up at a sneeze, even for the non-aerial "car kill."

Stupid thing still won't play. Must be my corn-putter.

Never really thought of it that way. Maybe I should use a picture of a can as my avatar...
